unifies solids processing operations P-K Pre-Test Laboratory
Solid-solids or liquid-solids processing, vacuum drying, sterilizing, coating, chemical reactions — u p to 10 precision solids processing operations can be consolidated into a single unit operation at the P-K Pre-Test Laboratory. This P-K Laboratory is actually a fully equipped and manned extension of your own R & D facilities. It offers an opportunity to evaluate up-todate solids processing equipment . . . to improve
current products and methods . . . to develop new products and processes. It features pilot models of all P-K solids processing equipment, including new concepts in continuous solid-solids and liquid-solids blending. Before you finalize any solids processing plans, arrange for a P-K Pre-Test. T o set a date, call George Sweitzer at Stroudsburg. Dial 717 — H A 1-7500.
Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation Pre-Tested... found the multi-step procedures it had been using could be unified in a P-K Liquid-Solids Twin-Shell* Blender. Following more extensive testing at the company's plant in Raritan, N. J., a 10-cu. ft. unit was installed. Ortho now pre-blends dry tablet powders, disperses liquids, and granulates formulations in a single production step. According to John Colligas, Director of Pharmaceutical Manufacturing, "Pre-testing demonstrated the unit's ability to precisely blend and granulate our materials and provide versatility for the manufacture of a number of products." ^patented and patents pending
